dr. sanjay gupta has more details on the symptoms of this disease. >> randi, it's worth pointing out again we're talking about fungal meningitis as opposed to bacterial meningitis or the most common form, viral meningitis, that's the type you hear about typically being spread on college campuses. fungal meningitis, if there's any good news, it's not contagious. people got this because it was injected into them through a contaminated steroid injection. what happened was the manufacturer of this drug sends these to a compound facility to divvy up the doses and compound the doses and then contamination occurred and the medication was sent to several different clinics and hospitals around the country. obviously the numbers are pretty significant and they're probably going to go out in part because it takes a while to get sick.

take a look there. actually 28 days before a person can develop symptoms an then there are all sorts of things that are consistent with meningitis. they can have stroke-like symptoms, weakness in one part of the body or another, swelling, inflammation around the brain or spinal cord, headaches and neck pain and they can lapse into unconsciousness and even die. the goal now is to identify all the patients who received injections, make sure no more injections are given and if people are having symptoms to make sure they get treated and get treated quickly. >> thank you. now return to pennsylvania. a couple is accused of severely abusing two children they adopted from ethiopia. the investigators say the doctor noticed several fractures on the

despite promises for a quick turnaround on claims. >> the secretary said his goal was to have claimed resolved in no more than 98 days with 100% accuracy. why hasn't this happened yet? >> again, this is problems decades in the making. we're transitioning from paper to electronic. it's a huge amount, under taking in task. >> is the current backlog of claims acceptable? >> it is unacceptable and we know that. we do. >> unacceptable, yet more than a year after mike rio filed his claim, he was still waiting. we interviewed 16 other veterans for this story. all of them told us they waited many months to get a simple disability claim resolved. in some cases more than a year. many of them also told us they weren't helped quickly enough with serious mental health issues related to ptsd. in one case, a veteran told us

he called a v.a. suicide hotline and was told they would call him back. they never did. right now according to the v.a., there are close to 900,000 claims pending, and of those 66% of them have been waiting longer than the secretary's goal of 125 days. worse, more than 228,000 claims have been pending one year or more. on average the va says veterans wait 256 days before their claim is resolved. paul rye cough says troops are tired of the rhetoric. >> there's a difference between the speak you get out of the bureaucrats you get out of washington and the reality you get on the dwrounl. the guys and gals on the ground don't care how many bureaucrats there are, how many pilots there are, how much money is being spent.

dhar if they got a decision back from the v.a. >> say say three's a delay, deny until you die. what would you say about that? >> i would say many veterans love their v.a. care. >> the secretary says the v.a. is on track to take care of 1 million claims. adding to delays, the v.a. say many veterans are returned with severe and complex mental injuries and sometimes file incomplete paperwork. the backlog also increased when thousands of vets were finally allowed to file claims for agent orange and gulf war. he finally learned his claim has been processed, 18 months after he filed. but mike was awarded only 40% disability, which works out to

$659 a month. he got credit for his ptsd, but even though he had been diagnosed with a mild brain disorder, he was denied for that injury. like so many others, mike and maggy plan to appeal their disability rating, a process that could set them back another two years in getting their case resolved. >> and he could have been killed. every time i spoke to him on the phone, i thought, this might be the last time i hear his voice. and our relationship has had to take a hit. >> that's another dimension, yeah. >> you know, we -- i'm married to a different man now. i love him as much as i've always loved him, but he's different. >> different in a way maggy and mike hope to make the v.a. understand. that $659 a month in disability

certainly doesn't cover the price they've paid for war. this story has caught the attention of so many. if you would like to read more about mike rio's struggle to get benefits and read the comments that others have left about this story, you can go to cnn.com/health. another soldier who fought for this country is now fighting against it for a good cause, trying to get a controversial law charchled so she can take care of her family. she joins me with her emotional story next. many of my patients still clean their dentures with toothpaste.

why would you co why don't you come back in. i didn't think they'd take me. i contact add recruiter and they said, absolutely, we need everybody we can get. i was so proud to join the service, especially after 9/11. >> karen, as charlie said, at issue is thousands of dollars of benefits and other benefit bus certainly also the health and well being of your daughter. can you tell us more about that? >> yes. as a family, the benefits affect all of us. it's -- casey is currently covered as a dependent, however, i am not because doma prevents me from being recognized as a lenl mat spouse. so some of the benefits i'm missing are health insurance, there would be survivor benefits like v.a., social security, burial rights, those kinds of things. >> you don't even have base

access, right? >> that's correct. one of the things that we have found is that i cannot get onto base, i can't visit the commissary or take my daughter to appointments that might be necessary on base because i just simply can't get in. i don't have an identification card that would allow that. >> and charlie, the obama administration said they will not defend doma. is that enough for you? should they be doing more to actively get it off the books? >> i know there's a lot of things that the department of defense can do, and sldn who represents us in the lawsuit are actually working that end. so hopefully -- and also amanda lucidan's stranger document points out a lot of things the department of defense could do that would involve the actually event etc., such as getting karen an i.d. card. >> as i said i can't imagine how
